I find the story generally boring, but I always have CNN on as background noise and they have at least 3 people a day postulating that he is a touchyfeely person, and so casual and personable, and such a generally good guy that probably (paraphrasing) got taken the wrong way. It's kind of shocking! This isn't even Fox news.

If someone came in and said he probably did sexually harass someone(s), I don't think that would fly.

I've heard this a lot, too, and it peas me off, but I guess it doesn't surprise me that much. Too many people think that outwardly nice people can't be the same ones who sexually harass/assault/rape/etc.

I have a wide comfort circle for people I don't know (PPK not included). Still, I know there's a big difference between a compliment, pat on the back, or even a hug, and that no-touch/this is inappropriate to say zone.

These silly women don't even know when they're being harassed! Also, I just learned (again, on CNN) that since this isn't murder, it's only sexual harassment, people really need to make up their own minds on what really happened. See? Sexual harassment is in the mind of the beholder.

I was a little annoyed by a radio report that, while otherwise fine, kept emphasizing how he derailed his campaign was, since he "had to deal with" this. Poor, poor guy. Can't campaign because he has to deal with these pesky allegations. Dealing with allegations is clearly the worst thing about sexual harassment.

So now there are five women who claim to have been harassed or worse by Cain. Maybe he can just stop pretending to run for president and take his Fox News gig now.

Donna Donella is only alleging that Cain asked her to set him up on a dinner date with an Egyptian businesswoman. When Donella refused, he asked her out to dinner, which she attended along with two female colleagues. He stuck them with the bill, which apparently included two $400 bottles of wine.
